Once again, MacGyver must rescue a scientist from an underground lab in a season premiere

MISSION: MacGyver is invited to test an underground lab’s automated security program. An unfortunate glitch in the system makes things a bit more difficult.

This week’s highlights include:

Here is a trailer for The Eraser, which we mentioned on the show. I miss Don LaFontaine.

Dalek (Science Fiction)

The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants principally portrayed in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. The Daleks were conceived by science-fiction writer Terry Nation and first appeared in the 1963 Doctor Who serial The Daleks, in the shells designed by Raymond Cusick.

I would love to see this episode as a Crystal Maze one!
I liked MacGyver’s “You got a better idea?” and Jill’s “I’m still trying to figure out what yours is!” answer as he’s taking his trousers off (I think the Basque camp disguise looked better) and was surprised that they stayed in balance holding a leg each in spite of their weight difference. And he even found the time somehow to put his shoes back on.
As soon as I saw the consoles my first thought was that today it would all fit into a smartphone!
